	Pope St. Pontian
		With him begins the brief chronicle of the Roman bishops of the third century, of which the author of the Liberian Catalogue of the popes made use in the fourth century and which gives more exact data for the lives of the popes.
		One of its first victims was Pontian, who with Hippolytus was banished to the unhealthy island of Sardinia.
		Pope Fabian (236-50) had the remains of Pontian and Hippolytus brought to Rome at a later date and Pontian was buried on 13 August in the papal crypt of the Catacomb of Callistus.

		Pope St. Pontian was martyred in 236 (237), either from ill treatment in general or from a mortal beating.
		Pope Sylvester III was consecrated on Jan. 20, 1045.
		Pope Gregory XII (1406 — 1415) was elected as the legitimate pope at a time when there were two anti-popes: The Avignon Pope, Benedict XIII, who was supported by the French king; and the Pisa Pope, John XXIII, who was supported by conciliarists of the renegade Council of Pisa.

	ST. PONTIAN (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		He made a good end, dying a confessor of Christ, and it is touching that down to this day, the Church celebrates the feast of St. Pontian, the Pope, and St. Hippolytus, once antipope, on the same day, November 19.
		Pontian seems to have abdicated when sent to the mines and to have been succeeded at Rome by Anterus.
		Pope Fabian brought his body back to Rome and buried him in the Cemetery of Calixtus.

		Pope Damasus, in a poem dedicated to him, records the "tempora quo gladio secuti pia viscera matris - in the times when the sword of the persecutor struck the flesh of the Mother (Church)".
		The soldiers of the cruel tyrant surprised the pope while he was proclaiming holy scripture to the faithful and the pontiff, to save his people whom he wanted to defend, offered his head to the sword of the executioner.

	Saints Hippolytus (170- 236) and Pontian (Pope) (236), Martyrs Feast 13 August, August 13 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		When he became pope in 198 or 199, Zephyrinus made Callistus (or Calixtus) effectively his "chief minister" and eventually a deacon or archdeacon, with such major responsibilities as the Christian cemeteries and perhaps the organization of the Roman parish, or titular, churches.
		Pontian resigned his papacy and both he and Hippolytus died on the island in 235 or 236, from ill treatment rather than the insalubrious locality alone and are therefore venerated as martyrs.
		Pontian was buried in the cemetery of Callistus.

	August 13 Saints of the Day
		Pontian was a Roman who served as pope from 230 to 235.
		Pontian was banished to exile by the Roman emperor in 235, and resigned so that a successor could be elected in Rome.
		As a presbyter in Rome, Hippolytus (the name means “a horse turned loose”) was at first “holier than the Church.” He censured the pope for not coming down hard enough on a certain heresy—calling him a tool in the hands of one Callistus, a deacon—and coming close to advocating the opposite heresy himself.

		For the early popes the main written source is the "Liber Pontificalis." This account of the lives of the popes was begun probably early in the sixth century while the Ostrogoths ruled Italy.
		Pontian was a Roman, the son of Calpurnius.
		Pope Sylvester sent two legates to represent him Vitus and Vincentius, and it seems that it was the Pope who suggested the term consubstantial to describe the relation of Christ's nature to the Father.

		The earliest of these, Hippolytus, was elected in protest against Pope Callixtus I by a schismatic group in the city of Rome in the 3rd century.
		The late 14th and early 15th century saw a series of rival popes elected, one line of which is counted by the Roman Catholic Church as popes and the other as antipopes.
		Some of them have their own popes to replace the popes they reject, but we should not consider them antipopes within the traditional sense because the number of their followers, in comparison to the size of the following of the generally accepted Popes, is minuscule.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Chronological Lists of Popes
		The historical lists of the popes, from those drawn up in the second century to those of the present day, form in themselves a considerable body of literature.
		The reign of Pontian, moreover, would be the point at which that list would have stopped: for Hippolytus and he were condemned to servitude in the Sardinian mines -- a fact which the chronographer makes mention when speaking of Pontian's episcopate.
		Boniface VII is also ranked as a pope, since, in 984 at least, he would seem to have been accepted as such by the Roman Church.
